The Criterion combines a 110cm chain with a mini U-lock shackle to make a long, heavyweight-rated chain lock. Under chilling and hammering it was broken with three strikes from the 1m-drop sledge. Under sawing the standard blade had little effect, and the tungsten took just over a minute per side. Bolt cropping on the links was in line with the competition, but the shackle bar proved as tough as the more expensive Homie. Under attack from the grinder the links proved the most resilient on test. While the Criterion is a much simpler design than its rivals it’s made out of strong stuff and does the job well.
